Andrew Sutherland

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Andrew and I am a WVU student in SPICE 2017.  This year will be the first time I will be stepping out of the country and I am extremely excited.  I will be completing two class of
International Culture and Communication as well as Forced Migration Media.  I am currently earning my Master of Arts in Communication Research and Theory.  I earned my bachelor's degree in Communication Studies from West Virginia University and I always wanted to participate in this study abroad opportunity, but when I was an undergraduate, the opportunity never lined up with my time.  My research interest lies in Mediated Communication, Instructional Communication, Positive Communication, and Organizational Communication.  I am currently applying to a few instructor positions and hoping to teach at a university level.  At the same time, I do enjoy doing research and hope I can continue to do so in the future.

During this experience, I hope to everyone informed about my opportunities that I experience and what I end up learning during this trip.  I will also like to point out that I do not take a lot of photos of myself.  Most of the time it is photos of my dog, Lucy Que, but I have added a photo of myself from a few years ago.

Talk to you all later,

Andrew Sutherland

Week 4: Cultural Frames

Image
We have made it to week four in our SPICE Program and each week brings new adventures. We visited Bruges, Belgium this past week. It was a small but cute city with many fun things to do. We went to a french fry museum and went in and out of a TON of chocolate shops; not to mention we had some really cool hostel-mates, one from England and one from Portugal/Spain! This weeks objective is Cultural Frames . We take what we know from our background and experiences and apply it to our reality (Remland, 2015). Us, as Americans, try to take our social norms and apply them to our environment; and with a different culture comes different social norms. I was once told that Americans have really short goodbyes, but what I found in Bruges, is that they have an even shorter goodbye. You will be purchasing something from the shop and before you have your credit card back and receipt in hand, you are basically pushed out the door. A cultural frame that sticks out to me from the chapter is the In...

Week 7: Verbal and Nonverbal Communication

Image
European and American verbal and nonverbal communication are quite different. In class, when we are having discussions, I notice that when an American student is called on, we will respond very loudly compared to the German students. I also notice, at the school coffee shop, the man working behind the counter will be very soft-spoken when talking to a customer. I almost want to shout, "CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE LOUDER?!", even though I can hear him perfectly fine from a few feet away. I realize the reason I want him to talk louder is simple: I am nosey. I am also use to a loud coffeehouse setting. When you go to Starbucks in the states, you typically walk into a setting of glasses clinking together, music blaring from the speakers, and names being shouted so people can pick up their orders. With nonverbal, I notice that we also are very different. When the teacher is speaking and looking around the room, she typically makes eye contact with everyone. When she makes eye contact...

Week 8: Intercultural Communicative Competence

Image
As we come to our last week in Europe, I look back on the memories I have made and the people I have shared them with. When arriving in Germany, I knew I would talk to the people who also went on this trip, but I didn't think I would become friends with them as easy as I did. One person who stands out the most out of all my friendships that I made abroad, is my friendship with Ashley Pearson. When going through the "General Process of Friendship Development  ( Remland, 2015) " in chapter 8 of the book, it describes each of the steps you take when developing a friendship. The first stage is the   Role-Limited Interaction . Whenever you meet someone new, you are usually the nicest person in the world; you don't want to give them a bad impression. I remember being super nice because I really liked Ashley from the beginning. We soon moved to the Friendly Relations stage. This stage is more of an acquaintance stage. We were no longer new to each other, but we weren't...
